Dear Andrew teacher, i have been watching your all videos for 3 years. Could you make video about direct and indirect speach. This coming Tuesday. I really love your all videos so much thank you so much for teaching.
Hello. I have a question for you .the verb "set" in the sense of "to adjust, to level" is only valid for watches, alarm clocks, alarms? not for a car engine, for example. Thanks
Hello Claude. Thanks for your question. Yes, it is mainly only used for watches, alarms and clocks. For a car engine, we use the verb "tune". The mechanic *tuned* the engine. (This means that the mechanic made some small adjustments to the engine in order to optimise performance) I hope that helps. Andrew
Hi Andrew how are you doing?I hope you're doing great.I like learning english idioms and phrasal verbs.Learning phrasal verbs and idioms is really fun.I've got a question for you.There is an expression in english which is "to pay through the nose for something".Does it have the same meaning as set back?İt sounds like they have the same meaning.But I would like to make sure that they have the same meaning.I know that my english is terrible.Even though my english is terrible I hope you understand what I would like to say.
Hi and thanks for your comment and question. Both expressions are similar but not quite the same. If you pay through the nose for something, it means that you paid *too much* for something. If the normal price of a watch is £100 and you buy it for £200, then you have paid through the nose for that watch. When we use "set back", we are expressing the cost of something that we consider to be a lot of money. It's a lot of money but perhaps it is the correct price. Or maybe not. The purpose of the expression is to express the amount. "I went to London last week. The hotel set me back £200." If we consider that the price is too much, we could also say that I paid through the nose for the hotel. Main difference: When we use "set back", we also express the cost of the product or service: It set me back *£500* "pay through the nose" simply means that we paid too much for something. We don't necessarily give the cost when we use the expression.
Hay algo en los angloparlantes cuando quieren enseñar inglés a personas que hablamos otra lengua, y es que ellos solo conocen su propia lengua, no aprenden otro idioma. Otra cosa es que este canal solo sea para angloparlantes; y los que pretenden enseñar inglés sin ser nativos, muchas veces no lo hacen como deberían por obvias razones.
Hola, gracias por tu comentario. Actually, I am bilingual. I speak fluent French ( which I clearly mention on my UA-cam about page) Futhermore, unlike many other UA-cam channels, I am also a fully qualified English teacher with the British Council's "TESOL" qualification - ( Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), one of the most respected English teaching qualifications. These lessons are on UA-cam. This is the internet. The audience is international. This channel gets views from over 200 countries and from people who speak many different languages. So obviously, the lessons can only be in English. Que tenga un buen día.
